<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 No matter how... If a person was looking to me as an example, don't you never do that. I got too many wrong things in my life. You look to the real example, Jesus Christ. He was the example. Don't look to one another; look to Him. See? He's the One to look to.
Now, then I thought I would go back tonight and kindly positionally get the church placed in the Scripture before we come into this real hard, strong doctrine of the book of Revelations. Which is... The book of Revelations, the Greek word "Apocalypse" which means "the unveiling," Taking a veil off of a statue is really what the Greek means by it, taking the veil from a statue and letting the people see what's been made. And it is the revelation of Jesus Christ in His Church. It's great, because it expresses what He is in each age. And you can see it in the previous ages, was just perfectly, exactly. And so is it in this age (See?), just what He is.
Now, let's believe Him. Let's believe Him with all of our hearts. And you see, the thing of it is, it goes a past us and we... Then it's over, and we wonder where it went. See, and then we look back, at the hour of our death, and look back and think, "Well, if I would've--would've..." See, it's done too far then. Just like that's been in every age that way, and the Bible says it'll be that way in this age.

L-9 One of the most pathetic things that I ever seen in the Bible, was--the Bible predicting, was this church age. This is the most horriblest church age of all the church ages. Every church age... Watch Revelations in the Laodicean, the Pentecostal church age, that Christ had been ruled out of His own church, standing on the outside knocking, trying to get back in His own church. Now, it looked like a call to sinners, but that's a church age, the Laodicean age. He'd been ruled out by the organizations and things. They put Him outside, and they'd took up the things of the world. And He said, "I stand at the door, and knock." Of His own church, not another age did it, but this age. So you see where we're standing. Any true, good, spiritual mind can catch that, and pick it up, and go with it (You see?), because you see where it is.
A very, very few of this age will be taken, as we know it. Many people are looking for great growth, outpour and things. Just remember; mark it in your Bibles: you will not see it. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD. See? You'll not see it. And it's... The church age is ending now. This is the hour. She's just about finished, and God's pulling His Church. And He's predicted that Laodicean, lukewarm enough to spue out of the mouth. And that's just exactly the age we're living in, everything hanging just right for the end time and everything.
We see the church in that condition: slumpy, lukewarm, enough to, "Well, it looks very nice, pretty good. Maybe I'll come back at the end of the week again." See, there it is. That's the attitude of the church. It's at that time that God picks one here and there, and one in the field and one... so forth, to take. So as we see we're approaching that age, let's settle ourself on God's Word. Get on God's Word, God's Spirit in the Word, and let's become lively stones, built up in the house of the living God.

L-10 Now, tonight I want to read a portion of Scripture found in Genesis the 22nd chapter and the 14th verse:
 And Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah- jireh: as it is said... In the mount of the Lord to  be... and to this day.
Now, Jehovah-jireh means "the Lord will provide for Himself a sacrifice." Now, notice, we're going back into Genesis for a little study for about thirty minutes or forty; then tomorrow night we'll pick it up again; then Saturday night build it up. And I want you to mark the Scriptures if you wish to. And I have a few of them marked down here on a little page, on my paper, and... If I get to use them, where they're at... And we want to study and just take a Bible study like in the Word.
